HCM CITY – English teachers nationwide discussed how to move classroom teaching from examination to communication in a workshop held last week in HCM City.

Leading international trainers in the English teaching field spoke at the event, attended by more than 700 English teachers and educational managers.

The conference featured internationally recognised teachers in the ESL field, including professors David Nunan and Andy Curtis, who continue to have innovative ideas. They emphasised the importance of a modern approach using communicative methods rather than the traditional approach through grammar.

The conference, free to teachers, is held annually. The Viet Nam-USA Society’s English Training Service Centre co-operated with the Teaching English as Foreign Language International in hosting the workshop.
